Practice Celeb Shoot
Shoot Plan
After being contacted by a friend of a friend to do a shoot for him and a friend, I decided to use the experience as a test for working with a "celebrity" client. Specifically, I'm using this as a test of doing a shoot with a "celebrity" client, focusing on what images to get combined with maintaining a professionalism during the actual shoot. The "celebs" for this shoot essentially wanted to do some basic modelling combined with a "moody emo teenager" (their words) sort of feel to it with some taken in a natural environment and some taken in a rundown urban environment.
Equipment: Canon 80D, 18-55 lens, Tripod, Photoshop.
Location: Various natural and urban locations around Portslade and Shoreham.
Health and Safety: Appropriate clothing/footwear. Ensure I am taking images on public land.

Shoot Evaluation
This shoot proved to be a good test for a celebrity shoot. I managed to maintain the necessary professionalism required for a celebrity shoot, talking to them respectfully and not touching them without permission. I am also pleased with the images themselves, with them having good lighting and composition. They also provided a good mixture of the natural and urban environments needed for the shoot. However, were I to do the shoot again, I would bring along a reflector to remove any further shadowing on the face. I would also bring along an assistant if possible, as it made making any changes to their poses/outfits longer and more difficult as I had to return to the camera to see if the improvements worked first.
